One week old

Baby Will is one week old today! What a week it has been. We came home from the hospital on Thursday. Grandaddy came to help us bring home all of our goodies (you would have thought we were there a month!). Grandma Deb and Memaw and Papa came over when we got here and loved on our baby. They brought us ham, mac and cheese, deviled eggs, and green bean casserole. Definitely better than hospital food. Mrs. Penny came to visit later in the evening. We had a great night. Baby Will slept right beside his Mommy and Daddy and it was wonderful!
Grandaddy and Granny Michelle brought Lucy home on Friday night. She was really excited to be home and very interested in Will. She is doing great with him and lets us know if he is unhappy. She doesn't like it when he cries and she gets up everytime he does. I think she is exhausted.
The rest of the week, we have had lots of visitors and calls from people who love and care for us. Pappa (my Dad) came over and finally got to spend some time with the little man. I think he might love him already. Memaw and Papa brought us another wonderful meal on Friday. Amy, CJ and Luke came over Friday night and it was great to have all the boys together. We enjoyed it very much. On Saturday night, after a long day of loving on Will and visiting, Grandma Deb stayed through the Auburn game and kept an eye on Will while Mommy and Daddy napped. Usually, I am screaming at the television during an Auburn game, but I don't even think I knew who was winning most of the night.
Missy, Marc, Claudia and Kayleigh brought us an awesome dinner on Sunday night. We have enjoyed visiting with all of our friends and family and have certainly enjoyed every second of having our baby boy home. What a dream come true!
We went to the Dr. on Friday and Sunday mornings to have Will's jaundice levels checked. He is doing great now and we don't have to go back until he is 2 weeks old.
Today, we give thanks and praise to the God of wonder and majesty! Today, I reflect on my baby boy coming into this world and I know that we saw the mighty hand of God at work!
